than the Republican party ever
did in ten years. It is a fact too.

The Property Rights of Hus-
band and Wife.

rEf $500
Probably the most important
act of the late Ohio Legislature
was the passage Of a law defining
the rights and-liabilities and more
nearly equalizing the property
rights of husband and wife. The
Columbus Dispatch, briefly refer
ring to the act, groups the chang
es as follows -
It. Hereafter a married woman
may contract generally, mortgage,
lease or convey her property to the
same extent and in the same man
ner as a married man may his
property.
2. The husband will have the
same interest in the property OF
the wife which the wife formerly
had, and which she will continue
to have in the property of her hus-
band.
3. Neitherthe husbandnor wife.
as such, will be liable for the con
tracts or torts of the other.
Two chapters of the Revised
Statutes were radically changed:
the following being among the
more prominent features of the
changes:
Neither husband nor wife has
any interest iii the property of the
other, except as provided by stat
ute.
The husband must support him
self, his wife and his minor chill
dren out of his property or by his
labor If he is unable to do so
the wife must assist him SO far as
able. a

Tearing Down tho Bloody Shirt.

The little sklrmish brought on.
by the bloody shirt shriekers in
thelate National Heuseso of Repres
sentatives on the Senate amend
ment to erect a fence at the Con-
federate Cemetery near Columbus,
brought out this ~fraternal
speech from A. G.. Curtin, who was
Pennsylvania's War Governor:
"The war is over, thank God,
and a great many men who now
undertake to revive the war and
haunt it's bloody memories had
but little tordo with it. [Great APP

it became my duty to stand by the
! Government. I had sworn that ]
would, and l respected my oath to
my Maker. I gave all the power
of my early life to the mainten-
ance of this Government-to make
it a great State. When the au-
thority of the Government had
been established; when we had
compelled obedience to the law
and vested the Southern country
as a part of this great Union, l be-
lieved the war was over, and is
sued the first proclamation from
any official source in the North to
declare that the war was over
[Immense applause. AS to these
gentlemen from the South, they

Of the Capitol if they are not YOU

Of admiration and reverence fol

this great country there are nc
higher evidences of heroism thar

and persistence of the people O.
the South. I believe they were il
error, but there can be no stronger
evidence of the fidelity which they
now cherish toward the country
than the cheerfulness with which

Mr.. Chairman, there is a distinc
ton between a Government and

provinces or communities subject

to make this great nation a Stat,
it must be homogeneous, SO tina

Dayton, Eaton & Indiana.

Chief Engineer Ramsey, of the
C. H.& D railway, andCol. Price,
who is also an accomplished engi-
neer, are exploring a route for the
west end of the proposed branch
railway through Eaton to Indiana.
The survey for the line from Day
ton to Eaton is completed. Leav-
ing Dayton the course is up Wolf
creek and parallel to the d. & w.
railway to near Trotwood; thence
due west, crossing Twin creek some
distance above West Alexandria,
and the Mackinaw railroad near
New Lexington. Running into
West Aleck on the south side
would ~necessitate long trestle work,
heavier fills, and a long, deep cut
to get a level.-Dayton Journal.
As the Dayton and %Ironton road
has no direct southwest or western
outlet, there seems to be no doubt
but that the Dayton, Eaton & In
diana branch will be built.
The Republican press seem to
think that nothing so beautiful has
been made since the birds sang in
Paradise as the Dow Law. What's
the reason? Why, because under
it, if municipalities shut out our
liquor selling by the local option
clause, it may be then sold by the
gallon instead of by the drink
That's the way q great many OF
them buy it, anyway, and it just
suits them.

The time will come-and it can
not come too quick-when all the
telegraph and telephone wires will
be placed under ground. The
loss Of Life such as occurred at
Buffalo on account Of the wires
obstructing the firemen in raising
their ladders at the burning hotel,
will force it in every State. A
bill for that purpose is before the
New York Legislature and there is
no doubt of its passage.
A Republican paper having ex-
claimed with an expression of hor-
ror that "twenty-three ex-Confed-
crates and only three Union sol
diers" viii now be members of the
United States Senate, the Chicago
Times ~pertinently remarks that "ii
the Republican party wants Union
soldiers in the Senate why does ii
not elect them? Three Union sol
dicrs in the Senate from the eigh-
teen states that gave a Republican
majority in 1884 is not a very good
showing for a party that pretends
to idolize the soldier class"

\ LAW AGAINST ADULTERATED
Dol

\ hill has been introduced into Con
grsSs making it a criminal act to import
adultcrated or unwhOlesOme food, or
liquors mixed with poisonous drugs, etc.
This hill is good as fur as it g"es, but it
does not go far enough. There ought to
be some way to get at persons who adul-
terate food.
This from the Cincinnati Commercials
Gas,Hc gives u pretty good idea Of what
the condition often is:
There are more people killed or disabled
by excessive eating and unwholcSome TODD
than by drink. Far more people fall b.
reason at the use of adulterated liquors
than from the effect Of pure liquor. In
other words, the evils resulting from the
use OF Intoxicating liquors are largely
traceable to the work of the adulterater.
There is in Ohio a law prohibiting for the
inspection OF liquors which, it rigidly en-
forced, would cause twO-thirdS OF the
liquors ON hand ut any time within the
State To be thrown into the river. II the
methods were harmless it would not he so
bad. Ii would not make much difference,
in fact; but in most eases poisonous COM
pounds are used, which prove tie tructlye
OF health, and ultimately ut life.
In regard to food, it is true that almost
every article that can he adulterated
proitably is manipulated. Pure sugar is
an exception to the rule, and kidney
troubles, which so largely prevail, are due
To n great extent to the acids used IN re-
timing. Flour made from the clippings OF
SoapstOne is used in the ordinary grades OF
sugar to make it weigh. This, of course,
once in the sugar, gets into the stomach
more or less. II will not dissolve in
liquids, but sugar is used in pastry and
other ways, where its impuTity cannot so
easily be detected ~ when taken in tea or
coffee. Nearly all the candy sold il
adultented, and very largely poisoned.
Such u thing rs pure syrup is
hardly known, and people who
are fond OF it in connec-
ton with hot cakes, should bear in mind
that they are taking poison almost every
time. Even New Orleans mOlaSSeS is not
free from poison, and ~ to maple syrup, it
is not to be had to any extent. The pro-
duet OF the bee il also manufactured. So
called honey is sold in what would seem
to be the original comb, but there is barely
enough honey used to flavor the bogus ar
tirle. Ii is we'll known that tea is adult
terated. Coffee also, though not to the
same extent rs tea. Adulterated lard and
butter are now among the common things
in market. The ingenuity OF man Is taxed
for the sake of gain to adulterate as far as
possible everything that enters into the
human stomach.
We have Il law that sends to the peni-
tertiary men who counterfeit money, and
why should not meu who counterfeit food
and endanger life be even more severely
punished

SAVINGS BANKS.

New York City is the money center OF
the United States, hut it is evident from
the reports of eight of the t~wcnty-four say
ingS hanks, Just published, that the so
called moneyed classes are not the only
ones who are gathering gear The
eight banks whose statements are pub
li>hed had at the beginning Of the year
2G2, 1U2 open accounts. The increase IN
deposits i'm the whole twenty four hanks
was from ll,59O, ~IO in lSS5 to SlL623, =
2l- in l-S6. Last year was a year Of
strikes and much was lost that would
have been deposited in savings banks.
Wheeling will soon have savings banks,
institutions that have long been needed.
1t will then be- the privilege Of every
workingnlan who can save anything above
his necessary expenses, to have a hank ac-
count which h. can augment every pay
day. Though a mans earnings arr small,
If he carefully lays aside a small sum every
pay day, he will soon be- surprised in the
amount he has accumulated.
In saving - competence in life, much
more depends upon what u person saves
than upon what he earns. We expect the
advent of savings banks TO he a great in
centive to economy and industry among
our people.

was a head. lie pretendS that the head
that of Il Kauawha farmer, who had
sunk to the bottom with n load OF hay.
But | have little doubt that it was his

discovered; and | consider it dishonest on
Up. q. p.'s' part to nus refuse to he the
hero OF his own adventures. The sort Of
tangle foot that is being dispensed on the

extra power and takes even experts of
new COwhidc boots. This, you
NAV rest assured, is the true inwarddnesS
of"'P. q. P.'s" story Of the hat and head
that the Senator discovered. And this
version of the story will also explain why

Oar streets are slightly soft, and ! can

such rhetoric us is 10 be found in his last
